There may e a lot of baseball left, but there isn't THAT much baseball left.

Bullpen injuries, mediocrity in the rotation, Trumbo turning back into a pumpkin and Vernon Wells getting healthy have all put a damper on the good vibes this team had generated prior to the All-Star Break. But the holes are not going away, and it's probably too late for 2012.

Oakland just beat the Angels 2 of 3 and Tampa has arms that shut the Halos down. It's probably not too late for the 2nd wild card, but a team that adds Pujols, Trout, CJ Wilson and a healthy Kendrys Morales shouldn't be pinning their hopes on this new lotto ticket called WC2.

This team should have battled Texas for the division without TX injuries, and with their injuries, I'd have thought LAAoA could have been closer than 8 games.
